Successful Project Portfolio Planning: Building the Business CaseAs organizations move towards a more project and portfolio-driven approach to strategy, the need to have a laser focus on execution and tactical deliverables becomes paramount. Unfortunately, research and experience shows projects and program initiatives most often fail because of a lack of early planning and preparation. The reason nearly a third of all projects continue to fail can be attributed to factors including a progressively difficult balance between time, cost and scope, a more demanding set of technology requirements, and a general rush to complete.https://www119.livemeeting.com/cc/umt/view?id=3W2CFQ&pw=UMT+July+10+Webinar

Project Portfolio Selection: Prioritizing for the Optimal PortfolioAs companies struggle to allocate limited resources and assets wisely, a process for ensuring that the right projects are worked on at the right time becomes critical to corporate strategy execution and superior performance.

Unfortunately, industry research as well as UMT Consulting's experience shows that nearly one-third of organizations do not have a prioritization process in place, while another third merely use the existing process to rubber stamp all proposed projects through to approval.https://www119.livemeeting.com/cc/umt/view?id=LCJG6UR6&pw=UMT+Aug+28+Webinar
